And Add Lightness

The Grain Train — BNSF 6308

Headed home from work, I saw the grain train snaking its way south in Castle Rock. Since I was headed that way anyway, I decided to wait at the Tomah Road exit for it to pass by. It’s a long drag to Larkspur, but I didn’t have to wait too long.

BNSF 6308 is a GE ES44AC and was paired with a Kansas City Southern EMD SD70ACe, but it was too dark to get any pictures of it. Really, it was too dark to get decent pictures at all. I considered using a drain pipe to get to the other side of the tracks, but ruled it out: the lighting wouldn’t have been much better over there anyway.
